IMPROVEMENT IN TRAVELING-BAGS, SATCHELS, &c.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,523, dated July 24,1877 application filed June 26, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADAM O. KRIGK, of Newark, in the county of Essex,and in the State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Traveling- Bags and Valises; and do hereby declare thatIn order to enable others skilled in the art.

to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will nowproceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to theannexed drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of atraveling-bag embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of thedoor or partition.

A represents the traveling-bag, and B is the interior door or partition.This partition B has a rigid hingepiece, 0, attached to and forming partthereof, said hinge-piece being made of pasteboard, wood, metal, orother suitable material, and acts as a support to or hinge of the dooror partition.

By reference to Fig. 2, it will be seen that this hinge-pieceis entirelyseparate from the body of the door or partition, but connected theretoby the covering on both sides.

The door or partition B is fastened to the bag or valise by means ofswiveled keys D and slotted plates D, commonly known to the trade asswivels and olives, but it may be fastened with hooks and eyes, staplesand pins, or by any other suitable or convenient means.

By this invention the manufacture of these articles is cheapened, andthey are rendered more desirable, for the owner can remove the door orpartition to pack larger articles in, if found convenient; and themanufacturer can nest a line of bags into one-half the space required inthe ordinary way for transportation to distant points, thus making alarge saving in the cost of shipping.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A door or partition for traveling-bags,

valises, 860., provided with a rigid hinge-piece attached to and formingpart thereof, as herein set forth.

2. In a traveling-bag, valise, or other similar article, a detachabledoor or partition, provided with a rigid hinge-piece and suitablefastening devices, substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this18th day of June, 1877.

ADAM O. KRIOK.
